METHOD or MAKING HAIR NETS.

Application filed January 18, 1923. Serial No. 613,507.

To all whom it may concern Be it. known that I, OT'ro- OOHLIGH, acitizen of the German Republic, residing at Breslau, Germany, haveinvented a certain Method of Making Hair Nets, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to a method of making hair nets and consists instringing the hairs crosswise on a frame and connecting them at theintersecting points by means of an adhesive substance.

This method of manufacturing hair nets has, as compared with the usualone which consists in tying the hairs together at the intersectingpoints, the advantage that it is far more rapid and that it can becarried out without skill or previous training.

In making the net a frame is used the members of which are fitted withpegs and with rubber or like fillets to which the hair ends can beclamped by means of spring clips. After the frame has been strung withthe hairs, the adhesive may be applied by means of a'stamp having astamping ele ment for each intersecting point of the net so that all theconnections can be effected in one operation.

Fig. 1 of the drawings represents a plan of a frame for the manufactureof fringe nets, and

Fig. 2, a longitudinal section of the same.

Fig. 3 is a partial top view of the frame showing how the hair ends areclamped in position, and

Fig. 4c, a side view of the same.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the stamp and of its moistening element.

The frame a, which in this case is trapezoidal, is formed with rubber orlike fillets (Z which are let into grooves Z) in the frame members. Thelonger members of the frame are also fitted with resilient clips 0whereby hair ends can be clamped to the fillets (I. All round the frame,moreover. there are uniformly spaced pegs g on which the hairs can bestrung.

Before the stringing of the frame is commenced, the individual hairs arepreferably connected end to end into a single strand which is wound on asuitable reel. One end of the strand 6 is connected by means of one ofthe clips 0 to the frame where upon the strand is run across the framefrom peg to peg in two directions so as to form a net.

Though the operation is easier when the individual hairs are connectedinto a single strand, the hairs can be applied to the frame withoutbeing so connected, the ends being fastened by means of the clips 0. Inthis case there should be clips provided all round the frame.

For applying the adhesive simultaneously to all the points ofintersection f, a stamp it is used having stamping elements 2'corresponding in number and position with the points of intersection ofthe net. The stamping elements are dipped in a trough in in a quicklvdrying adhesive Z, which is preferably coloured like the hair, and theyare then applied to the net at the intersecting points so as to stickthe crossed hairs together. When the joints are dry, the net is readyand can then be severed from the frame by the cutting of the hairs alongthe inside of the frame members.

A stronger net will be produced if the strands instead of being composedof single hairs, are made up of a plurality of hairs twisted together.

Chignon nets are produced in the same manner, the shape of the frame aswell as that of the pad and the stamp being altered to correspond.

I claim 1. A method of producing hair nets consisting in stringing thehairs cross-wise on a frame and connecting the hairs at the intersectingpoints by means of an adhesive substance.

2. A method of producing hair nets consisting in stringing the hairscross-wise on a frame, and applying, an adhesive simultaneously to allthe points of intersection by means of a stamp.

3. A hair net composed of hairs laid crosswise and connected at theintersecting points by means of an adhesive substance.

4. A frame having pegs enabling it to be strung with hairs so as to forma hair net, rubber fillets let into the frame members, and clipsconnected to the frame members for clamping the hair ends to saidfillets.
